IMHO, you should make a new file system when you want a different policy or option implemented. There are many options that can be implemented: compression, copies, read-only, export for import on another host, or quotas, that can be implemented. If you aren't using a different policy or option, then a directory is probably fine. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
